Signification
To forget something.
Contexte culturel
Forgetting a guest's name or a promise is seen as a lack of 'hurmat' (respect). Using the idiom 'esimdan chiqibdi' softens the blow because it sounds accidental. In Uzbek literature, memory is often personified. Forgetting is sometimes described as a 'dust' settling on the memory. Young people often mix Russian words. You might hear 'Vapshe esimdan chiqibdi' (I totally forgot).
Use -ibdi for apologies
When apologizing for forgetting, use 'esimdan chiqibdi' instead of 'chiqdi'. It sounds more sincere and accidental.
Don't forget the possessive!
Always match the 'es' ending to the person. 'Esimdan' (me), 'Esingdan' (you).
